Erich Lindemann (1900-1974), A.B., Ph.D., 1922, M.D., 1926, Universities of Marburg and Giessen,
Germany, was Chief of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Professor
of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, Medical Director of
the Wellesley Human Relations Service, Massachusetts, Associate Professor of Mental
Health at Harvard School of Public Health, and Distinguished Visiting Professor in
Clinical and Social Psychiatry at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. Lindemann
specialized in social and preventive psychiatry, and is credited with pioneering the
field of community mental health.

Erich Lindemann was born in Witten, Germany in 1900 . He pursued a medical degree at the urging of
his grandfather, a businessman who encouraged Lindemann's principles of social responsibility.
He attended the Universities of Marburg and Giessen, where he studied gestalt psychology,
receiving his Ph.D. in 1922, and his M.D. in 1926. He came to the United States in
1927 as a Research Associate in Experimental Psychology and Speech Pathology at the
University of Iowa. His subsequent appointments at the University of Iowa and the
Iowa Psychopathic Hospital include: Instructor in Psychology (1929-1931); Assistant
Physician (1929-1935); Assistant Professor in Psychology and in Psychiatry (1931-1935);
and Physician in Charge of Psychiatric Out-Patient Clinic (1932-1934). In 1935, Lindemann
moved to Boston, Massachusetts to accept a psychiatry fellowship at Massachusetts
General Hospital (MGH) (1935-1937), and a physiology and psychiatry fellowship at
Harvard Medical School (1935-1937). His subsequent appointments at MGH include Associate
Psychiatrist & Physician-in-Charge of the Psychiatric Out-Patient Department (1937-1948),
and Visiting Psychiatrist (1944-1948). During this period, Lindemann held numerous
teaching appointments across Harvard University, including: at Harvard Medical School
as Instructor in Psychiatry (1937-1941) and Associate in Psychiatry (1941-1948); at
Harvard School of Public Health as Instructor in Psychiatry (1940-1941), Lecturer
on Mental Health (1948-1951), and Associate Professor of Mental Health (1951-1954);
and at the Harvard University Department of Social Relations as Lecturer in Clinical
Psychology and Psychiatry (1947-1953).

In 1948, Lindemann and his wife, sociologist Elizabeth Brainerd Lindemann (1913-2007),
founded the nation's first community mental health agency, the Wellesley Human Relations
Service (WHRS), initiated as a field station of the Harvard School of Public Health's
Division of Mental Health. He served as Director of the organization for five years
(1948-1953). He left the WHRS in 1954 to accept the positions of Chief of Massachusetts
General Hospital's Department of Psychiatry and Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard
Medical School. He held these appointments until his retirement in 1965. During this
period, he established a community mental health training program for social workers,
nurses, and other community social service providers. Post-retirement, Lindemann accepted
a position as Visiting Professor of Psychiatry (1965-1974) at Stanford University,
Palo Alto, where he continued to teach courses in community mental health for the
remaining nine years of his life.

Lindemann is most known for his work in preventive intervention, particularly with
subjects of grief, loss, and other forms of crisis. After working with victims of
Boston's Cocoanut Grove fire in 1942, he became increasingly interested in the psychiatric
and physiological effects related to crisis, grief and loss, and he continued to study
these subjects throughout his career. He also directed a study of the effects of loss
and disruption on the displaced families of Boston's West End redevelopment, which
was used to inform later urban redevelopment projects across the nation. Lindemann
is also credited with developing the field of community mental health, advocating
throughout his career for collaboration between psychiatrists, social workers, clergymen,
teachers, and other community social service providers in the preventive therapy of
crisis patients. His many professional affiliations include: President of the Boston
Psychoanalytic Society; Chairman of the American Psychiatric Association's Committee
on Preventive Psychiatry; Chairman of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry's
Committee on Preventive Psychiatry; Member of the National Research Council Committee
on Stress; Member of the National Institute of Mental Health Committee on Social and
Physical Environment Variables as Determinants of Mental health; and Special Consultant
to the World Health Organization. In 1971, he was honored for his work in community
mental health through the dedication of the Erich Lindemann Mental Health Center in
Boston, Massachusetts.

Erich Lindemann married pianist Baldura Schmidt (1902-1995) in 1928, but was later divorced in 1934.
He remarried in 1939, to sociologist Elizabeth Brainerd (1913-2007). They had two
children, Jeffrey and Brenda. Lindemann died of spinal cancer in 1974, in Palo Alto,
California.

The papers were received as arranged by Elizabeth B. Lindemann in 1979; excluding
reprints and audiovisual records, groups of records were subsequently intellectually
(but not physically) re-arranged chronologically "on paper" in 1982. The present series
have been created out of that chronological arrangement. Please note: where possible, some folders containing a combination of restricted
and unrestricted records have been separated into two folders to better promote access.
Records containing restricted information have been placed in a separate folder (B),
and their original locations have been marked with placeholders in the main folder
(A). Similarly where necessary, folders containing a combination of textual and audio-visual
records, or standard-size and oversize items, have been separated into two folders.
Audiovisual records or oversize items have been placed in a separate folder (B), and
their original locations have been marked in the main folder (A). In such cases where
one folder was previously maintained within a larger folder, the smaller folder was
placed immediately after the larger folder, and was given a title using the following
format: Larger Folder Title: Smaller Folder Title.

and consists of: Massachusetts General Hospital administrative, research, and teaching
records; Wellesley Human Relations Service administrative, committee, and research
records; Harvard Medical School administrative, committee, and teaching records; Harvard
School of Public Health teaching and curriculum planning records; and research, teaching,

board meeting minutes, research and administrative reports, and collected publications
related to research on the mental health and social implications of forced relocation
during Boston's West End redevelopment. Professional Activities Files (Series III)
contain membership correspondence, committee records, conference programs, and lecture
transcripts related to Lindemann's service in various professional associations, including
